I think they were taking precautions in case something bad happens and didn't want it shown in HD until the last moment.

Red Bull makes my tastebuds want to die, but the projects they sponsor are fun to watch!

I can't imagine what that feels like, standing on a tiny platform that far from the earth, with intent to jump off...
Red Bull does some pretty awesome stuff, especially their mountain bike events! |

I was reading some coverage of this amazing feat today and came across this. Pretty much describes it for me:
"In a spectacle unlike any ever before witnessed outside of an activity conducted by NASA, Baumgartner stood up on the porch of the gondola- with the blue earth in the background more than two dozen miles below. It was, as an anonymous Internet poster said, An awkward moment when we realized that an energy drink has a cooler manned space program than the United States. The live video beamed from the Red Bull Stratos balloon was so clear and so vivid that it took your breath away. And then, Baumgartner jumped."
